Just Announced: We Are Official Partners With Xavier University Athletics!

CINCINNATI – The Xavier University Athletic Department is excited to announce its recent partnership with Tixers, an online platform that unlocks additional value for both season ticket holders and avid fans, for the 2014-15 men’s basketball season.

Tixers allows ticket holders to quickly trade in tickets for up-front credit. The credit can then be used towards other Xavier tickets or any other future event, including sports, concerts, and theatre productions throughout the country.

Beginning with Xavier’s first regular season home game on November 14, fans will be able to receive an instant credit value for upcoming game tickets they will not use personally. This provides fans a new, guaranteed method for receiving tangible value for tickets purchased while also reducing the time and effort involved. The partnership will be especially valuable for current and prospective Xavier season ticket or mini pack owners, including individuals and businesses.

To exchange a ticket, fans visit Tixers.com, select the game, and provide the seating information listed on the ticket. Once the ticket has been transferred, a credit value based upon the demand of the ticket is immediately disbursed to the fan’s personal Tixers account.

“Our season ticket base represents our most loyal and passionate fans,” said Brian Hicks, Xavier Associate Athletic Director for External Relations. “We’re excited about this new partnership with Tixers because it delivers significant added value to the investment of our current season ticket holders and makes our packages even more attractive to potential season ticket holders. This is an innovative new platform which will provide our best customers more flexibility if they cannot attend a game. We hear frequently that some people don’t have the time to commit to every game in a package. We believe this minimizes the risk and creatively removes that obstacle.”

Big, exciting news out of the Tixers camp today! Following the press release from Xavier University’s Athletic Department, we are pleased to announce our official partnership with Xavier University! Starting this November, Xavier basketball season ticket holders will be encouraged to use our site for games they cannot attend which Xavier views as a win-win for current season ticket holders, and potential ones that might be on the fence.

One of the biggest qualms an individual faces before becoming a season ticket holder of any sport is the ability to attend all the games. Is it worth paying all this money at the potential risk maybe missing a few games? For most of you who are familiar with Tixers, flexibility is something we strive to give our users. Fortunately, thanks to the hard work of the Tixers team, we were able to demonstrate that to Xavier’s Athletic Dept. who saw the value Tixers can bring.

Xavier’s Associate Athletic Director, Brian Hicks, “This is an innovative new platform which will provide our best customers more flexibility if they cannot attend a game. We hear frequently that some people don’t have the time to commit to every game in a package. We believe this minimizes the risk and creatively removes that obstacle.”

Our founder, Alex Burkhart, also sees how the new partnership can be mutually beneficial, “It will be delving into the analytics and leveraging our technology in combination with theirs to find the right benefits and test a lot of things,” he said. “It’s a chance to learn and build off the right business model to scale this nationwide.”

Xavier is one of only two non-BCS schools to be listed among the top-20 most valuable college basketball programs in the US, via Forbes.
